Alex Watts :

How much do you want to claim?

Customer:

ive no idea but uyou know wot doctors and nurses are like the al stick together

Alex Watts :

Potentially you have a claim if you can show they were negiegent.

Alex Watts :

You would need to see a Solicitor to discuss a no win no fee claim otherwise you would have to pay £200 per hour and you wont get legal aid.

Alex Watts :

Potentially though you have a claim if you can show they were negliegent.

Alex Watts :

You will need to see an expert and they will need to produce a report detailing what happened, whether procedures were followed and indeed whether they were negliegent.

Alex Watts :

If the answer is yes then you will have a claim

Alex Watts :

If the answer is no, then you would NOT have a claim

Alex Watts :

Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?

Customer:

how can i show that they wrere negligence as there were days the pumpwasnt even in right they they also gave me a patch which had the same side affect and they idnt as if i wanted it on so that was double parinoa

Alex Watts :

Because they never told you what the side effects would be

Customer:

i could not afford 200 pounds

Alex Watts :

I know, but when you go and see a no win no fee Solicitor they may take it on, get an expert report and then seek a Barrister view as to whether it has a merit clai

Alex Watts :

* claim *

Customer:

i just wish some one off my family had took a video of me because there telling me things that happened because i am horrified as that was not my personality at all

Alex Watts :

Indeed. They can give evidence at Court to support your claim if appropriate.

Customer:

who do i contact even an apoligy from the hospitail would do

Alex Watts :

Yes you need to contact a personal injury or medical negligence Solicitor.

Alex Watts :

They can write to the Hospital Trust for you

Alex Watts :

Does that help?

Customer:

do u think i have a case because all my family are annoyed with what happened .

Alex Watts :

Indeed. If your family are willing to give evidence I think you have a claim

Customer:

oh most deffintley they were horrified as well by my behaviour which was starting to lose control iwas being abusive towards my familly stafff nurses and even my consultant

Customer:

that was all down to the new drug it took over my life and im notthe same confident woman i used to be why did they bring in 3 top physiicatrists to detain me under the mental health team
